4. Green Canyon Yurt
Hyde Park, Utah1 Review•8 Photos•16 SavesGreen Canyon yurt is a 24-foot diameter yurt that sleeps up to twelve people. It is located at the end of the Green Canyon groomed ski trail (i.e., the end of the summer road), so it offers a good introductory yurt experience for new skiers or snowshoers. For the adventurous, it is a great base camp for ascents of Bierdneau Peak and beyond. It includes sleeping pads, a wood stove for heat and melting snow for drinking water, a propane stove for cooking, LED lanterns, and a full array of kitchen utensils, dishes, and cookware for 12. The Green Canyon yurt is served by a permanent vault toilet.

5. Secluded Maple Creek River Bottoms
Richmond, Utah1 Review•23 Photos•11 SavesThe campsites are located in a wooded area so lots of shade. Site 1,2 and 4 are creek side along maple creek and site 3 has a small stream and a pond. All sites have a fire pit available. All sites are carry in carry out. Easily accessible with a four wheel drive. You will need to cross maple creek to reach site 1. Site 1 also has outdoor carpet and patio furniture the site. The road down to the river bottoms is a bit steep so 4 wheel drive is recommended. This area is ideal for tent camping. Some sites have tables.
This area was used by the local Indian tribes during the summer. We have found many flint arrowheads and a bread stone on the property. There is a cave on little mountain to the west that they wintered in and it is a short hike to go see it.
There is a 6 mile round trip hike to the head of maple creek. Trail head at the top of maple creek road. If you have atv’s there are trails for that also.

Close to home, but noisy and buggy
Campsite 148 We liked staying here because it's close to home and it is also close to gas stations and grocery stores. Our campsite had standing water right behind it so there were many, many mosquitoes! The traffic from the freeway was very loud and in the morning the trains would honk their horns waking everyone up. We will probably not stay again and just do day trips to the lake.

Easy to find, Free spots, Verizon signal
Plenty of spots for rv/campers and tent campers. Had my own quiet spot with a great view of the stars. Enough Verizon reception to FaceTime with the family.

Sun Outdoors Garden City Utah
Has potential but past its prime ?
We have been coming here for over 25 years. It was a membership campground until about 5 years ago when Sun Outdoors took over. While there have been some improvements, it has been sorely lacking in maintenance. In addition, management doesn’t appear to have much motivation to enforce rules that made this a beautiful and enjoyable place to stay.

Great staying at the lake
Just stayed for a night but in a sight directly at the lake. We were able to go to the lake easily and swim a little bit. Due to being late in the season it was not crowded at all.

Lovely lake
Lots of families camping here. Close to town and lots of day use area. Campsites pretty close together but lots of grass and trees. Clean bathrooms and pretty neighborhood for walking

Wasted time looking here
Tons of land, tons of campsites.. but most are "occupied" by empty trailers with no other vehicles or people around. There's empty cars parked on top of fire pits, no tents or any sort of life nearby. Felt strange.
This road is rough and very bumpy. Didn't feel comfortable "taking over" a campsite with things already parked there. Wouldn't recommend coming here.

Absolutely Perfect
We could not have asked for a more perfect spot. The views were immaculate, the sites were very spread out, it was the end of September and all the leaves were changing.
No notes. Can’t recommend this spot enough.
Kimberley M.GuideWillow Creek — Willard Bay State Park
Good enough
Got in around 945, nobody at the gate. Was and to have a choice of several spots for my campervan. Nothing with a killer view of the water, but I did have a nice view in the morning of the mountains. It was fine.
Kennedy F.GuideFranklin Basin Dispersed Camping
Big areas of solitude
Ended up driving this road up to Idaho to find a bigger spot and some solitude. Took the dirt road for about 30 minutes and got the most perfect spot. Nobody was near us and the view was amazing. We went at the beginning of June, it was a bit chilly some mornings and at night, so come prepared.

Beautiful, well maintained, one of our favs
We found a FF site right by the creek, close to the cold canyon waterfall trail head. The water levels were high so the creek was running pretty fast which made it loud but honestly it drowned out any noise from neighbors a it was perfect. Love the hikes, love the shade, just an awesome camp site.
Toilets flush! Just gotta bring a light
Close enough to drive to town for anything you might have forgotten.
Erik J.GuideWillow Creek — Willard Bay State Park
Very busy but well maintained campground
Follow the signs to the "new entrance" -- but it's well marked and well staffed. The campgrounds are well marked, but we found that our site was actually accessible going the opposite direction from the signage. So we went around the loop but this would have put the utilities on the passenger side, not the driver side. So we went back through the loop the opposite way (be careful of opposing traffic and there's limited space to maneuver, but this is the only way to properly access certain sites).
The picnic table had a gazebo over it, but it was occupied by wasps. We weren't planning to use it anyway as this was only a stopover for us, but this is something to be aware of. 50amp service worked great which was important for both air conditioners to work on this 102 degree day!
Overall the camp ground was super quiet. Keep in mind that there are no in/out privileges after 10pm. If you leave, you may not be able to get back in and this is documented on the checkin documentation. There is plenty of good grocery shopping for supplies located to the north and south (I went north). Beautiful campground but the sun and heat are a little relentless so be prepared with good AC, shade/awnings and other cooling methods.

True, free dispersed camping!
Not very far from Brigham City at all. Easy to find and some roads are a little rough in the campgrounds. At least 30 established campsites with fire pits and lots of shade. A lot of hiking and star gazing available. No Services whatsoever except I have T-Mobile and I have great reception with the JeXstream mobile hotspot extender. No Creeks or water but a beautiful place if you bring everything you need. Didn't hear any shots but shooting is allowed, and you might encounter people on ATVs or staying up late partying but you live with what you can find!

Tons of free camping in the area.
There are tons of free site all up and down the main road. The only problem is it is busy if you leave on Friday plan to get there by 3 at the latest. Spots fill quick.

Cottonwood — Willard Bay State Park
Convenient and easy overnight stop but expensive and buggy
We did not have reservations and with two long back to back travel days heading home, we needed an easy place to land close to the interstate. $60 for one night electric and water which we did not need for our teardrop, but all sites were the same price which included park fees.
Very nice staff and host found us a spot with which even had a limited view of the lake. Site was brand new with pull through that would easily accommodate a larger rig. Had a nice pavilion type cover over the picnic table, fire ring, and restrooms and showers were new in the section we were staying in.
As sun went down the mosquitos started to swarm and chased us inside. Haven't experienced that level of bugginess outside of several of the swamps we camped at in the southeast. Middle of the night a skunk visited our campsite and hung around for quite a while. Traffic noise from I-15 was excessive.
Don't let the pictures fool you. Views were ok in most directions but what I did not show was the large commercial storage yard used by the park service which was directly next door to our campsite. Fee's should have been much lower given the location but we did not have reservations and were fortunate to get a site.
If camping in a traditional RV this is an ok option, and it is cheaper than some of the commercial campgrounds nearby. Would stay here again if we needed an easy overnight stopover as the location is terrific.

Nice quiet place
This is a nice quiet place. Near city limits where there is places to buy groceries, gas, or go out to a restaurant. They have about 20 spots with electrical outlets. It would be good to call and ask if you can stay, where it is a fairgrounds.

Maple Grove Hot Springs
Great camping and great hot springs
This is one of my favorite places on earth. They have tent sites, van sites and a selection of shelters to choose from. Camping gets you access to the hot springs from check in until 4pm the next day. There’s running water in the bathhouse with a toilet and shower. There’s yoga classes included in the price as well. The bathhouse also has a nice little shop with snacks and gifts. They sell tinfoil dinners too if you want to really relax. Highly recommend! They offer volunteer days as well where you can camp and soak in exchange for volunteer work.

Brigham City-Perry South KOA
Such a friendly site!
Everyone here was so nice and the staff was absolutely fantastic and so accommodating. Good spacing between tent sites, and they were spacious. It’s set up in a loop with all the amenities right in the middle so no matter where your spot is you’re just a tiny stroll away. Heated pool when it’s in season, and they seem to host a lot of fun events! I missed the ice cream social sadly. They also have air hockey and a ping pong table in the office building. This was my favourite KOA so far!
Note: Bring bug spray! I got bit a fair amount by mosquitoes.

Beaver Creek
Absolutely stunning place
This place is straight up middle earth status. The drive there is beautiful all the way and my not-so-great clearance old subaru could handle the semi-sketchy roads required to get there. This place was pretty damn isolated which, if you’re like me, is a bonus. As aways, it seems like there are some of those OHV people lurking around but whatever they were few and far between. I am a bit thrown off by the pics provided by another Dyrt user as those pics don’t really look much like where I was, but maybe that’s due to their final destination differing than mine. I ultimately stopped at the (seemingly) now-defunct Beaver Creek campsite, an established site that has a bathroom. The thing saying there’s hookups or whatever for sure not true, there’s nothing here but a barren board upon entry, a fee box, and about 5 spots for sites. You can hike back into the forest on a trail at the back of the camp site. Absolutely insane views, forest for miles, owls, deer, you name it. I was tripping about the mosquito situation due to ultra close proximity to semi-standing water but there were almost none. BE FOREWARNED I did get bit by some jacked up mite whilst traipsing off-trail and got hella sick for a couple weeks and had to hit the antibiotics haaaard to get over it. So just bathe in insect repellant I guess ha. Also in regards to what other reviewers have said, idk where they were bc I legitimately do not know where you kayak here. There’s the creek but it’s not the sort of thing I’d imagine would be possible to kayak. I’m assuming it’s just some other part of the road I didn’t head down though so you should still go for it.
Anyway, the place is gorgeous.

Dispersed camping near Monte Cristo
Beautiful and secluded
Two nice boondocking spots just a short drive on a tight dirt road off the highway. The campsite on the right is bigger, the one on the left is very small. Very popular for hunters in September, so you'll have lots of people walking right by your camp. The views are beautiful, but it can get quite blustery. We weren't able to have a fire when we stayed there.

Tons of spots, easy road
Lots of spaces here. Big pull-in spots for camper rigs. And some small side pull outs for sedans who don’t mind walk-in tent spots.

OK Camp ground
Just arrived at the camp site, not to big, the sites have shadow from trees (not all). Restrooms are not really clean, water of the pool seems to be a bit dirty. Next to paid activities there are some stuff kids can do for free.

Great stay!
Just a one night stay on our way headed north but wish we could have stayed longer… lots of sites that really have a lot of privacy and back right up to the forest. Also trails right if the campsite. Super well maintained and bathrooms were clean. Also huckleberry picking right from camp! Gorgeous area, will definitely go back again.

Nice spot on the river.
Just a few Campspots. Several right on the river. Nice shade. Fairly close to the road. Could use a little more upkeep and price is a little high.
